Unit price / per1 low in stock
Here we have for you a superb and fresh looking Stony-iron or Mesosiderite Vaca Muerta (Dead Cow) classified meteorite end cut weighing 10.42 grams. Its dimensions are 26x18x10 mm.
This classified meteorite was found in 1861 in the driest desert of the world called the Atacama, in Chile. Mesosiderites are formed on the surface of a parent body as a result of impacts with another body. The impact mixed broken fragments of surface eucrites with iron and olivine from deep within the body. Eucrites are believed to have come from the asteroid Vesta. Analysis has shown, however, that the Vaca Muerta eucrite inclusions are not consistent with other eucrites and possibly originated on a different parent body. Although most have a weathered exterior, they also have lots of metal inside and can be prepared and cut to show this.
This specimen is from the Michael Cottingham Meteorite Collection and is guaranteed to be authentic. This piece displays extremely well and would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem® specimen card.
